The Amendments.
Waco Day.


While the prohibition amendment to
the constitution makes the strongest ap-
peal to public interest in this campaign,
yet there are five other amendments 10
be voted on in August, all OF which de
Iuand lair attention and consideration On
the part of the people. Tney should,
therefore, not be lost sight of, and are
summarized as follows: TIE first, IS we
have said, relates to prohibition, and has
been thoroughly discussed. OF the other
proposed amendments, the one likely to
attract the most attention is that which
provides for the payment of So day to
members of the Legislature for alniEety
days session, instead of sixty days, as at
present. In public as in private life, the
laborer is worthy CT his hire, and
the people ought not 10 require
their representatives st Austin to
work for pittance when the
public exigency requires them to remain
in session beyond 8 limited time. TWO
other amendments relSte TO the DISPOSE
ton of the university lands, and the man
ner of collecting and disbursing revenue
in unorgsniZed counties. II may be said
of these that they were recommended oy
trusted officials and endorsed by the Leg
isIature, and msy therefore be accepted
as beneficial changes. Another provides
Tor the registration of voters in cities OF
10000 inhabitants, if the Legislature
deems it advisable. This, we take it,
means TO protect the franchise against cor
ruptlOn where rings and clinques are too
powerful TO be broken by local influence.
The sixth and last proposed amendment
provides for an enlargement of the su-
preme court by the addition of from two to
five new Judges, in the discretion of the
Legislature. AsiTexas grows, the work Of
the high courts sccumulates, and this
amendment is in response to the deyel-
opHent Of the state since the adoption OF
the present constitution, and also looks
forward TO the necessities of the future.
Altogether, it may be fairly assumed that
eli the new amendments are worthy of
acceptance. They were adopted by
Legislature composed of patriotic gentle
men, majority Of whom were farmers,
after mature consideration of the neces-
stiles of the public service.

CLETELAND,S LETTER.

The letter OF President Cleveland to
Mayor Frances of s.. Louis reviewing his
former decision to attend the meeting Of
the Grand Army of the Republic in that
city, and declining to be present on that
occasion is a document which does honor
to his head and heart. While holding the
Grand Army as an organization blame
less, he very frankly admits that his
course is dictated by the threats of abuse
and insult which have emanated from
prominent officers in that order. Il is
only fair to say that majority-a large
majority, of the members OF the
Grand army, feel keenly the disgrace
brought upon them by the incorporate
rawlings Of e few graceIess zealOts who
happened to be high in their councils
No one will deny that in Grand
Army circles there are citizens as
pure and patriotic IS they are
brave and generous, and that the in
suit to the President is deplored by them.
No matter what they may think of Grover
Cleveland, they stand ready 20 defend the
dignity Of the President of the United
States, the chief ruler of the Union and
the representative head of the nation. In
common with all other good citizens, the
majority of the members in the
Grand Amy organization reserve the
right to differ with our President,
and either praise or Censure him fairly
and freely as best accords with their indi-
vidual opinions, but they would not make
themselves 8 party to an insult thrown in
his face. While this is the case, and
while the President admits it, it will be
conceded by all fair minded men that he
has acted wisely in the premises. The
chief officer of the Grand Army-the
gentleman who represents that organiza-
ton as the President represents the
United States-is responsible for the
Insult, and the paternity of that insult
the Grand Army must claim until 1t
meets snd rebukes the author Of il. The
regrets and sorrows expressed by the
individual members of the Grand Army
are cpportune and manly, creditable alike
to their patriotism and good sense,
but they are only private expressions and
Individual statements. Private apologies
for public insults are seldom considered
sufficient reparation, and as the utter
ances Of General Fairchild, commander
in-chief of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, are quasi official, the insults con-
tanned in them should be officially de-
nounced. Silence on the part of the
Grand Army will be interpreted to mean
that the organization participates i'll the
sentiments expressed by It's chief. The
objects and purposes of the Grand Army
are patriotic and excellent. No one will
believe that the order contemplates
an assault upon the chief Off.
Ger of the government by either
rabid rantings or personal injury, If,
however, the objects of the organization
are to be perverted as they have been,
the DAYS OF the Grand Army are numbered
There are enough patriotic men within
the ranks Of the order to strangle it as
soon as they see that it is becoming G
menace to the dignity, liberty and per
soraI safety of the President CT the United
States.

DEMOCRACY is not intolerance. Democ-
racy is free speech and no persecution for

ventIons only are authorized to proclaim

will not be made so by the next Demo
cratic state convention. Democracy
needs both Reagan and Ross, and both

be unanimous for Fort Worth as the place

LABOR AND IMMIGRATION.

The protection of American labor, long
8 myth, is about to become reality.
Enrichlng lot of manufacturing princes
and enabling them to dictate terms to
their employees will not long constitute
the chief ornament of the tariff system.
There is a law now upon the statute
books which prevents these monopolists
from importing foreign contract or pau
per labor, but this law is being violated
with impunity. In Texas the capitol
contractor has succeeded in evading the
law and it is being done elsewhere. In
Pennsylvania there is system of evic-
tions in progress, which, for appalling
atrocity, can not be matched
by the most brutal evictions of
Ireland. This is because the tariff
laws have been operative only SO far as
the monopolist was concerned and af-
torded no protection whatever TO the la-
gorer. Mr.. Powderly, conceded TO be at
the head OF the labor interests in this
country, has recently given utterance to
statement that the laboring men would
in the future claim for themselves the
protection enjoyed so long by the money
kings. In a recent interview he is re
ported SIS saying: "But there is one
question that the American people must
take up that greatly concerns the work
ipornap II ia nr will bpcOme q burning
question of the day-an issue which will
excel ell others in importence-and that
problem is the great question OF the
great unceasing food Of immigratiorN'Nm

Closing Exercises.
ed the good work.

Our Providence correspondent,
''L. B., gives the following concerning
the closing Of the Fern Ridge school,
a few days since:
II must say TO attend such school
exhibition il treat not often INDUCED
in. The program was one cf these
take us as you find us, very little
preparation being made aside from the
everyday lessons the pupils had been
learning. The promptness with which
they disposed of their lessons was a
credit TO them and their teacher.
During the term the average num-
ber in attendance was %, very good
for country school. The good order
which prevailed during the day, both
in school and on the play ground, con-
WINGED all that Mr.. Flaugher was lord
of that castle, and ruled not with a
rod of iron,' but by the power of kind
ness. Among the many good things
he has taught his pupils is that prohi-
bition is the right side of the question.
After the lessons were recited we
were favored with some music, which
closed the forenoon exercises, and all
were invited to partake of most
sumptuous repast from tables groanine
under the weightOf all kinds of good
things.
After dinner we We're favored with Z
prohibition speech by Rev. s. 7. Miller
and some good singing, when the ex.
ercises closed with social hop given
